Nurses Must Be Angels by Profession

September 6, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is professions in honor of Labor Day, which was celebrated on September 4.

Today’s poem is about the profession of nursing.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Nurses must be angels by profession,

Under the direction of their gods.

Restoring peace to those immersed in pain,

Sustaining life in those life can't sustain,

Each nurse each day must elevate the odds,

Skilled in love's most practical expression.
